Operations & Maintenance - Apollo Energy Analytics

Operations & Maintenance

Asset Managers and solar plant Operations and Maintenance teams are always the brains, hands and feet on the ground. As a part of the AM / OM team you are always responsible for the daily operations as well as the on-ground performance of the assets.

Apollo’s central monitoring application helps in real time solar performance monitoring by easily identifying the least performing sites – whether it is using Performance ratio %, Availability, CUF or Active power as the Target KPI. The event app allows users to see exactly what events and alarms are happening across the portfolio in a single screen – already prioritised as per impact and duration.

With multiple contractual KPIs such as plant availability, performance ratio, capacity utilization factor etc to meet, maximizing productivity is very important. However, this needs to be balanced with the budgets that were planned– the problem gets even more complicated as the number of assets under management keeps increasing even further. Time and money are 2 resources that you have to constantly optimize upon – this cannot be done scanning through 100+ SCADA screens, to identify where the issue is, and then plan to send a person to the site or add a truck roll! It is very important to minimize and eliminate any delay in the time it takes to identify, prioritize, and rectify an operational issue.

KEY FEATURES

Alert Prioritisation

Customize how and when you receive alerts and prioritize by severity, system size, and other metrics to quickly address issues causing the most downtime. View a timeline of events to understand trends. See inverter fault codes and understand their significance without referencing the inverter manual.

Deep Dive into Each Device

Identify and sort all site devices (inverters, meters, weather stations, PPCs, etc.) to easily check status and quickly pinpoint faults.

Soiling Analysis and Evaluation of Cleaning

This extremely powerful tool runs health checks on all site equipment to automatically detect and provide alerts. Additionally, this tool provides an automatic reminder to clean panels after reaching a threshold of soiling loss without forecasted rain.

Built-in and Customized Charting

Interactive, built-in charting enables custom charting for users, conducting the deviation analysis and troubleshooting. Several chart types, any device, any equipment can be plotted with time series as well as X-Y analysis conducted

Field Force Management

Leverage the computerized maintenance management system to increase field force efficiency and productivity to reduce costs.

O&M Automation

Auto-trigger work orders based on user-defined criteria and predictive AI models. Move away from time-based work orders to performance-based work orders, thereby increasing efficiency.

Work Order Analytics

Track the effectiveness and capability of your teams by analysing work order data analytics in the cloud and optimising their work flow accordingly. Identify the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) & Mean time to rectify (MTTR)

O&M site engineers and technicians at field love using Apollo’s intuitive mobile app to reduce rework and get assistive support, saving time and money for better business output alongside better work life balance through higher productivity tasks.

Apollo has all the features and tools field service teams need to save time and money, while maintaining optimal system performance, including:

  • Remote troubleshooting with actionable diagnostic information
  • Improved workflows with third-party CMMS integration for ticketing
  • Clear and relevant alarm information on tickets
  • Validation of resolution with fault code clearing and closed alerts for reduced callbacks
  • Reoccurrence reports
